In the mountains near Kingston, Jamaica, City of Refuge Children's Home
is cultivating two of the country's most precious resources: children
and coffee.
Assemblies of God missionaries Steve
and Kim Puffpaff decided to open a children's home after witnessing
countless orphaned children living on the streets. In 2002, thanks to
donations, the couple purchased property in Jamaica's Blue Mountains and
transformed a former luxury hotel on the property into a children's
home.
A second children's home was opened in 2004. Now some 60 young people who were once abused and abandoned receive food, clothing, shelter and education.
